The wedding/bridal industry have become so difficult and overpriced that it can easily take the joy out of what should be the happiest season of life. Going to traditional bridal salons turned out to be a negative experience for me as gowns were overpriced for mass-produced designs that were lacking in quality + the astronomical lead times they require...almost every salon would put pressure on us to order a dress today or I wouldn't have any hope of having it in time for a wedding that was 9 months away. Ridiculous. That's where Still White became the perfect option for me. I was watching designers I knew I loved (Kim Kassas, Leah Da Gloria, Viktor & Rolf, etc.) and found the exact gowns I loved most from bridal salons for a fraction of the price because someone had worn the gown once for a few hours. This became such a no-brainer for me! I love reusing such an expensive and meaningful garment, too. The purchase I made was by a designer I wasn't aware of before, but the process was easy and I feel good about extending the life of this dress that might otherwise live in a box for the next few decades.
